Ben O’Glasser is equally satisfied when he wins at trial as when he helps a client avoid a problem in the first place. He is an experienced litigator with substantial trial experience. He began his career as a prosecutor where he tried over 30 cases to jury. Before he was a lawyer he held a wide variety of jobs and understands the realities of managing a workplace. Today he uses that experience to help our clients avoid and defend lawsuits.

As a prosecutor, Ben learned how to analyze and present the facts of each case, and saw first-hand how cases can dramatically change when you ask the right questions. The experience he gained has proven valuable to our clients. Before joining Bullard, Ben worked at a large national firm where he developed a general civil litigation practice, with a particular focus in the areas of legal ethics, professional responsibility, and risk management.

Today at Bullard, Ben advises public and private sector clients in employment and labor matters, including federal and state employment litigation. Ben’s work includes advice and litigation relating to wrongful termination, alleged sexual harassment, and disability accommodation and discrimination as well as labor contract interpretation and administration.

If he hadn’t become a lawyer, Ben might have become a high school civics teacher. From 2007-2014 he was one of the coaches of Lincoln High School’s Constitution Team. The team is annually one of the best in Oregon and won national championships in 2012 and 2014. Now, Ben has turned his attention to volunteering at his children’s school and other area non-profits. Ben is active in the Owen Panner Inn of Court and currently serves as its Membership Chair. In his remaining spare time, Ben and his family seek out the best places in the Northwest to hike, bike, and run.
